I don't have much advice, but if she's full, she's full I guess. Does she appear to be healthy, growing and satisfied after eating?

Yeah shes healthy & growin & most of the time she seems satisfied as she usually ends up fallin asleep not long after

What size teat is she on? Could she be getting tired and not finishing her bottle?

It may just be that she doesn't want any more though, my DS 24w goes through stages of not finishing his bottles. Sometimes he does 3oz every 1.5 hours and all I can so is go with it.
